    Summary

    As a broke architecture student, Kaveh finds himself working in a slightly shady flower shop in the heart of Sumeru City. It's a job that helps him pay his bills and lends him plenty of time to study when he's not actively dealing with the clients.
    He's not quite sure what it is, but something changes on one particular Wednesday, when a black bike parks next to the shop he works in.

    “Your partner must be incredibly fortunate to have you by their side. Um. There you go, your total is fifteen thousand.”

    The guy nods, gently folding the note into four and placing it inside one of the multiple pockets of his jacket. Kaveh wonders if he wears this thing all year long. The sound of simple plastic wrap being picked up is too loud in the small shop. The grey-haired man looks at the bouquet for almost a minute, counts out Mora—Kaveh expects an exit with no ‘Goodbyes,’ just like on the other two visits.

    Teal eyes shift from the bouquet to Kaveh’s badge for a second, and that’s when he’s addressed again.

    “Good day, Kaveh.”

    Summary

    “Thank you. If you happen to see the Acting Grand Sage please let him know Effendi wants to speak to him immediately regarding this matter.” She somehow deflated even more. “The man he punched was a Mahamata’s brother.”
    Kaveh cringed. “Right. I’ll let him know.”
    He waited for her to disappear from view down the street before closing the door.
    He turned with his hands on his hips to face the sprout of silver hair peeking out from behind the divan. “Care to explain what the hell that was, Mr. Acting Grand Sage?”

    Alhaitham punches someone in the face. Feelings and confessions ensue

    Summary

    “I thought you said you could resist me.” Kaveh playfully knees Alhaitham in the stomach with a teasing expression.

    Alhaitham tries to think of an excuse. He really does. But with Kaveh staring at him with reddened lips, his chest still heaving from the previous events, all he can admit is, “I lied.”

    People tend to wonder how Alhaitham can resist Kaveh. The answer is that he can't. Rather, he fails miserably trying.

    Summary

    '"There…was a response from Kaveh?" Alhaitham's grandmother said, finishing Alhaitham's sentence for him. She looked perplexed as she stared at her grandson. "Is this what young people these days consider flirting? Talking through journal articles and message boards?"

    Now, it was Alhaitham's turn to be baffled. "Who said anything about flirting?"'

    or;
    Alhaitham's grandmother is still alive when Alhaitham and Kaveh's friendship blossoms and then spectacularly falls apart. She does everything she can to reunite them and thus push them together. Even if it means embarrassing her grandson.
